    Summary
    Predicted to enable malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in malate metabolic process and pyruvate metabolic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Orthologous to several human genes including ME1 (malic enzyme 1) and ME3 (malic enzyme 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
